Doing one's own rsync and cron scripts
Hi, As, IMHO, the Ultra's GUI interface is appalling, it does not give me the backup versatility I want wth rsync and cron jobs. (Ducking the flames) Is there anything that would cause Frontview...
Hi, new here, and so ask for indulgence. This thread appears to be the most relevant place to lodge this one...
Like Davidr, we have implemented our own rsync backup to external USB drives, using EnableRootSSH. This gives us finer control over timing, mounting, error handling, disk rotations, reporting, etc.
All is working perfectly, however the underlying USB external drive automount is still occurring even though our scripts are managing the mounting themselves. This appears to have no adverse affect, other than I feel uncomfortably asking users to switch drives which are still mounted (not by our scripts, but by the automount).
Is there any way to disable external USB drive automount on the NVX without breaking other subsystems?
